FEMEN Activists latest campaign in Dresden,Germany involved naked breasts painted with slogans praising Bomber Harris



Germany's pirate party has condemned one of their members after she stripped off to reveal a slogan praising Bomber Harris - the RAF chief who ordered the Dresden bombings - painted on her breasts.

Pirate party members and people in the city said they were shocked by the fact that Dresden-based activist Anne Helm, 27, was one of those who staged the naked protest just days after the anniversary of the brutal bombing.

A spokesman for the party leadership in Berlin said: 'This stunt was certainly not done in the name of our party and we distance ourselves from it. And more, we condemn it.'

The bombing of Dresden in the closing months of the war on Feb 13 and 14,1945 involved 722 heavy bombers of the British Royal Air Force (RAF) and 527 of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) that dropped more than 3,900 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices on the city

During the bombing between 35000-135000 were killed .

In a series of attacks, 3,300 tons of bombs were dropped on the city, destroying the roads and buildings
